A Partnership between Vital Voices and POND'S

Dare to change the world.

Vital Voices has partnered with POND’S in our new initiative to inspire and strengthen the women of the world who dare to apply innovative and value-driven approaches to tackle social, human rights and environmental challenges at all levels of society. Our organization is charting a new course for women’s leadership, and this groundbreaking fellowship will connect, provide training for and give visibility to over 50 extraordinary women who lead NGOs and companies around the world.

The Fellowship will draw its curriculum from the Vital Voices Leadership Model as well as a customized suite of training modules that focus on building skills, knowledge and capacity in leadership, management, and ultimately, on implementing a new vision for leadership that highlights the strength of leaders to engage others and shift culture through soft values. Through the 21-month fellowship cycle, we aim to help participants:

Have the vision, skills and tools to be more effective leaders

Understand and practice value-driven leadership in their day-to-day lives

Inspire and teach others about the importance and power of women’s leadership and “paying it forward”

Internalize and apply these values in their moments of choice

Have a framework through which to dissect situational moments of conflict, growth and leadership

The fellows will walk away having experienced:

Powerful professional relationships and collaborations with like-minded, visionary women

In-person summits and interactive online training courses

A deepened and refined vision for change

Investment in building of skills, knowledge and capacity in leadership, management, and more

Peer-to-Peer Exchange Program: Cape Town

June 25th – 30th

Throughout 2018, small groups of fellows will gather on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Exchange Programs to deepen their fellowship experience. For four days, we will step outside of our day-to-day routines and indulge in knowledge exchange, peer coaching, community, capacity building and collaboration. Facilitated by staff and VVLead ambassadors, the goal of these small-scale, intensive programs is for participating fellows to ignite new creative partnerships, support one another as women leaders, cross-pollinate ideas, and become equipped with new knowledge, tools, connections, and strategies to tackle personal leadership and organization goals.
